extends java.lang.Object

implements pstypes.PSStringOperator

Implements PSStringOperator interface.

Methods such as getOperatorToken() are inherited from PSStringOperator interface which, in turn, are inherited from PSOperator. This concrete class is responsible for creating an string of size n containing null characters.

The token identifying this operator.

isValid

public boolean isValid(dtypes.PSStack s)
                throws exceptions.PSSyntaxException

Checks if it valid to use this operator now.

A string can be created if a size number is given.

Precondition : A valid instance of PSStack with a PSNumber on top.
Postcondition : A reply to the question whether the operator can perfom its defined behaviour.

Specified by:

isValid in interface pstypes.PSOperator

Parameters:

s - A reference to PSStack instance.

Returns:

True if the operation can be executed, false otherwise.

Throws:

exceptions.PSSyntaxException - The syntax of the token is wrong.

action

public void action(dtypes.PSStack s)

Creates the string.

Precondition : A valid stack is given to method with a PSNumber on top.
Postcondition : A string will be created of the size given containing null chars and be pushed back in the stack.
